<h1>Format Thresholds Editor </h1>
<p>You can format the threshold in the report using the Format Threshold 
 Editor. For steps to create a threshold, see 
<a href="Create_advanced_threshold.htm">Creating 
 a threshold for multiple metrics: Complex thresholds</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs1">To format a threshold:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Type 
 a name for the threshold in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Name</B></span> 
 field. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3">To 
 replace the threshold values with text, an image, or a quick symbol, select 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Replace Data</B></span> check box and 
 select one of the following from the drop-down list. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol><ul>
<li style="list-style: square;" type=square class=p><p class="whs3"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Replace Text</B></span>: Select this option to 
 display your own text. This replaces the values that meet your threshold 
 condition with text. Then type the text in the empty text field. The text 
 should be limited to 255 characters. For example, for sales opportunities 
 that have been lost, you might display the word LOST in red. A common 
 use of this option is to display the word EMPTY when a data value is null. 
 </p></li>
		
<li style="list-style: square;" type=square class=p><p class="whs3"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Quick Symbol</B></span>: Select this option to 
 replace the values that meet your threshold condition with a symbol. Then 
 select a symbol from the drop-down list. For example, in a report showing 
 the financial contribution of sales groups to overall sales, you can display 
 a green plus + or a red minus – symbol to represent positive or negative 
 contributions. </p></li>
		
<li style="list-style: square;" type=square class=p><p class="whs3"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Image</B></span>: Select this option to replace 
 the values that meet your threshold condition with an image file. Specify 
 the path to where the image is stored. The image should be stored in the 
 Web Services folder.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs2">

 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs6">
